NAMING  THE  STREETS. 

HE  original  surface  of  Manhattan  Island  was  very  diversified  in 
character,  including  level  meadows,  deep  valleys,  hills,  and  rocky 
cliffs,  varying  from  tide  level  to  250  feet  in  height.  All  the  deep 
valleys  of  drainage  have  been  filled  in  so  as  to  raise  them  near  to 
ir  plane.

what  is  now  Broad 
Street  as  far  as 
Exchange  Place, 
with  a  branch  run- 
ning toward  the 
west  thro  u  g  h 
Beaver  Street, 
afterwards  known 
as  the  Old  Ditch. 
The  main  canal 
was  crossed  by  two 
principal  bridges, 
one  where  Briduc 
Street  now  is  ami 
the  other  at  Stone 
Street,  while  at 
Beaver  Street  there 
were  two  smaller 
bridges  for  foot 
passengers.  Ferry 
Street  led  to  the 
old  Ferry  to  Long 
Island.  It  seems 
hard  to  realize  that 
the  Long  Island 
Ferry  House  then 
stood  at  the  corner 
of  New  Street  and 

Exchange  Place,  the  ferry  boat  passing  through  the  canal.  But  when 
the  old  burgomasters  of  Nieuw  Amsterdam  applied  themselves  to  the 
important  and  intricate  task  of  laying  out  the  highways  and  byways  of 
the  city,  they  seemed  to  have  most  particularly  in  mind  the  importance 
of  getting  from  one  point  to  another  with  the  least  labor  and  in  the  short- 
pst  space  of  time,  hut  it  was  the  hills,  valleys  and  swamps  that  bothered 


BIKD  S-EYE  ^ 


them  more  than  all  the  rest  of  the  obstacles  placed  in  their  way  by 
avaricious  land-owners.  But  all  of  these  points  which  were  of  so  much 
importance  in  those  days  have  become  of  no  importance  with  the  progress 
of  the  city,  and  while  the  streets  in  that  section  remain  as  crooked  as  the 
proverbial  ram's-horn,  we  have  a  collection  of  both  wide  and  narrow  sti  eets 
which  intersect  each  other  almost  inextricably. 

The  wildest  dream  of  the  burgomaster  did  not  carry  him  to  the  empy- 
rean height  of  sup- 
posing that  the 

^/  '■<^,  -  city  of  bis  adop- 

'  <^     ,  t  i  o  n  o  r  b  i  r  t  h 

^  might  attain  such 

_  __  greatness  as  to 

reach  as  a  city 
above  "  M  a  id' s 
Path,"  now  called 
Maiden  Lane,  a 
rural  valley  road 
much  frequented 
by  lovers  in  the 
evening,  and  a 
view  of  the  mag- 
nificence we  have 
attained  would 
have  been  as  for- 
eign to  his  ideas 
as  would  be  Jules 
Verne's  "  Trip  to 
the  Moo  n."  In 
tliose  days  a 
stream  ran  through 
it.  Next  above 
where  Ferry  Street 
now  is  was  Beek- 
man's  Park,  a  large 
tract  of  wet  land 
from  which  a 
stream  ran  into 
the    East  River. 

Still  more  to  the  north  was  the  Collect  Pond,  a  large  body  of  water  said  to 
have  been  seventy  feet  in  depth,  situated  in  a  basin  where  now  stands 
the  Tombs.  On  this  small  lake  Fitch  launched  his  first  steamboat.  A 
stream  called  the  Wreck  Brook,  ran  from  the  Collect  to  the  East  Eiver 
throuo-h  a  low  meadow  and  emptied  into  the  estuary  at  what  is  now 
known  as    Roosevelt  Street.    There  was  formerly  a  bridge  over  this

THE  OPERA,  THEATRES  AND  OTHER  PLACES  OF  AMUSE- 
MENT. 

PROGRESS  is  rife  ill  every  walk  of  life.  Take  the  theatres  for  in- 
stance. Ill  New  York  l  ity  tlicie  have  been  many  famous  play- 
houses. The  first  \\  ;is  luiilt  in  Nassau  Street  in  1753,  just  when  the 
Eiisilish  element  was  (he  strunoest.  When  prosperity  began  to 
make  itself  fi^lt  after  tlie  war  of  is  1 1',  tlie  National  'J'lieatrc  on  Leonard 
Street,  which  w  as  iiianaucd  l,y  .1.  W.  Wallack,  introduced  many  of  the 
greatest  men  and  w  iiiiicn  of  the  stage.  Here  the  <;ieat  liurton.  who  is 
remcmberi^d  as  the  very  genius  of  comedy  or  farce,  and  who  was  the  first 
in  this  city  to  produce  plays,  in  the  modern  meaning  of  the  word — played 
his  first  star  engagement  in  this  country.  Burton  afterwards  opened  the 
famous  Chambers  Street  Theatre,  which  was  formerly  Palmo's  Opera 
House,  and  in  the  list  of  his  company  will  be  found  names  that  will  be  long 
remembered  in  this  country. 

Perhaps  one  of  the  most  famous  theatres  in  the  United  States  in  its 
time,  and  certainly  one  of  the  most  famous  in  New  York,  was  the  Old 
Bowery  Theatre,  when  it  was  managed  by  Tom  Hamblin,  which  was  for 
many  years  the  home  of  melodrama  in  the  city. 

The  Paik  Theatre,  situated  on  Park  Row  between  Ann  and  Beekman 
Streets,  was  erected  in  1798,  and  was  calculated  to  seat  2,.500  people.  It  was 
the  acknowledged  histrionic  temple,  not  only  of  New  York  but  of  the 
United  States,  and  any  one  playing  a  successful  engagement  here  held 
an  oi)en  sesame  to  all  others  in  the  country;  and  here  it  was  that  the 
"  liarl.er  .)f  Seville  w  as  siuil;  on  the  evening  of  November  2.5th,  182.5,  the 
lirst  "]>iTa  that  was  e\ci-  ]iid(liieed  in  this  city.  Among  the  stars  who 
played  in  flie  old  I'a.k  'i'licatre  were  Cook.  Forest.  Kean,  Kemhle,  Young, 
I'owi-.  Sinrlaii-.  (whose  danuhler  afterwards  iiiairi.Ml  Ivlwin  Forest)

sponge  cake  constituted  the  edibles,  was  httcd  ii])  f..r  amusement  with  a 
small  stage  and  scenery  in  1847,  and  opened  as  a  theatre,  one  member  of  the 
company  being  George  Holland,  whose  funeral  years  afterwards  made 
famous  "the  little  church  around  the  corner."  It  was  at  this  historic 
theatre  that  Jenny  Lind  made  her  first  bow  to  an  American  audience  in 
1850,  and  it  was  here  that  Mario  and  Grisi  appeared  in  1854. 


Niblo's  was  also  the  scene  of  many  theatric  and  operatic  triumphs. 
This  old  tlu^atre  was  originally  a  suniiuer  retreat,  wliudi  was  (piite  a  little 
walk  from  the  densely  po])ulated  distiKit,  and  was  ojiened  by  William  Niblo, 
a  popular  caterer,  who  was  familiar  with  the  ban  virants  of  the  day.  A

plain  board  fence  enclosed  the  garden,  and  on  the  northeast  corner  of 
Rroadwav  a  saloon  was  built,  which  became  the  rendezvous  of  well-known 
men  at  coiuiMal  meetings.  In  the  centre  of  the  block  Niblo  afterwards 
had  t  iccti'd  an  ojien  saloon,  where  light  entertainments  were  given,  which

soon  grew  to  tlie  proportions  of  a  real  theatre,  wlien  every  vestiue  of  shrub, 
flower  and  <;reeii  ])laiit,  tree  and  buwer,  were  swejit  away,  and  where  iu

Amono-  the  many  houses  tliat  has  marked  the  proj^ress  of  opera  in  Xew 
York  may  be  first  named  the  "Kichmond  Hill  Theatre"  which  was  a 
fashionable  house  of  amusement  and  situated  at  the  corner  of  ^'arrick  and 
Charlton  Streets,  the  site  of  the  former  liome  uf  Aaiun  lliirr. 

The  first  Italian  opera  produced  in  Xcw  Y.nk  was  the  ••  Barbiere  di 
Seviglia,"  which  was  produced  in  isi>.").  at  tlic  (jld  I'ark  Tlieatre  by  Signor

wealthy  gentlemen  afterwards  formed  a  stuck  company  and  erected  the 
Italian  Oi)era  House.  Then  came  TalnnVs  Ojoaa  House,  then  Castle  (iar- 
den  and  afterwards  tlie  fann>us  Astor  I'lai  c  ()|icia  Ib.u^c.  wlicrc  the 
Macready  riots  took  place  in  l-^4;i.  Then  attei'  >li..it  mm.v.ds  at  Niblo'sand 
other  places  came  the  famous  Academy  of  .Mu>ic  un  14th  . street,  wliere  the 
silvery  voiced  Urignoli  made  his  liist  appeal  ance,  and  which  was  the  scene 
of  the  many  triumphs  of  Kachcl.  \Vachtel.  raicpa  Knsa.  Santley.  .Adelaide 
Phillips,  Campanini.f'apunl.rhi  iMine  Xillsuu  and  many  others,  and  was  the 
scene  of  the  debut  of  the  only  I'atti,  her  fii^t  appearance  beiii-  in  Lucia. 

We  have  now  the  ma-nilicent  Metropolitan  Opera  Hoiim-.  the  tifth 
opera  house  built  in  Xew  York,  and  twenty-nine  hotiM's  tor  iv^ular  theatri- 
cal and  operatic  performances,  with  eleven  houses  devoted  to  vaudeville, 
and  burlesque  performances,  with  many  other  places  of  .nit.loor  amuse- 
ments, and  museunrs,  and  eighteen  halls  for  concerts  and  amusements,  such 
as  Carnegie  Music  Hall,  Steinway  Hall,  (  bickering  Hall,  etc. 

THE  PARKS. 

IF  one  follows  the  tide  as  it  has  i)ushed  upward  iu  Xew  York  it  will 
follow  the  opening  up  of  the  new  parks,  as  business  has  pushed  the 
dwelling  portion  of  the  city  higher  and  hiuher  u],  each  year.  Our

in  the  sunshine,  and  this  has  now  become  the  almost  exclusive  domain  of  the 
immigrant  and  visitor  from  the  interior.  The  old  castle  and  fort  is  now 
the  Xew  Y'ork  Aquarium,  which  is  a  sm  t  of  windup  to  its  eventful  his- 
tory.   But  around  this  park  <ince  dwelt  the  aristocracy  of  the  city. 

As  each  park  was  ojiened  iu  turn— St.  JoliiTs  I'ark,  Washington  Park, 
Union,  Stuyvesant,  (.rammeicy  and  Madison  >.juaies  and  linally  Cen- 
tral Park  and  Kivcrside  Park,  there  has  been  a  i  ii>li  of  h  ading  citizens  to 
secure  the  beiielits  of  light  and  air.  To  thi^  day  \Va.-l1i1e4ton  Square, 
though  away  out  of  fashion,  maintains  a  hi-li  dcuicc  of  so,  iai  standing  and 
lirovides  fresh  air  to  tlie  liedmoiids,  the  Cooper-,  the  Sclin>leis,  the  Hoyts, 
the  Khinelanders  andthe  Fraucklyns.  Soahout  Cnion  s.iuaie.  before  it  was 
given  to  trade,  were  the  fine  houses  of  the  1  bid -es.  the  Dd'eystcis,  the  Sping- 
lers.  the  Daniel  Drews,  the  Koosevelts.  the  Wliitn.'vs,  and  irany  others.  On

CENTRAL  PARK. 

THE  many  improvements  which  have  been  made  in  Central 
Park  tiic  last  thirty  years  have  made  it  one  of  the  finest 
if  not  the  finest  park  in  the  world.  Its  magnilicent  trees  are 
now  grown  to  their  full  proportions.  Its  drives  and  bridle 
paths  are  laid  out  and  perfected.  Its  romantic  lakes,  sylvan  dells, 
rivulets,  woods,  etc.,  located  now  right  in  the  heart  of  the  great 
metropolis,  cover  an  area  of  over  840  acres,  of  what  is  one  of  the  finest 
pieces  of  landscape  gardening  in  the  world,  and  is  a  min-ling  of  Nature's 
exqubsite  workmanship  further  embellished  by  the  art  of  man.  Xothing 
approaches  it  more  closely  in  beauty  than  the  charming  park  of  Versailles, 
or  the  park  surrounding  the  "  Sans  Souci "  of  the  Great  Frederick.  In  both 
winter  and  summer  this  place  of  popular  amusement  is  always  a  lively  scene 
of  cayety,  and  every  amusement  and  convenience  that  can  be  thought  of  is 
prcrvided  for  its  visitors.  While  the  Casino  and  McGowan's  Pass  Tavern  is 
the  favorite  rendi'zvoiis  of  Xew  York's  wealthy  horsemen ;  the  children  find 
it  a  jiicknickers"  paradise,  where  they  can  play  to  their  heart's  content  on 
the  smooth  velvety  lawns,  while  baseball,  cricket,  croquet,  tennis,  skating, 
rowing,  driving,  bicycling,  sleighing,  and  driving,  all  are  indulged  in  in  this 
beautiful  breathing-place  of  Xew  Y'ork's  millions.    Its  museum,  with  its

many  art  treasures,  is  now  to  be  compared  with  many  in  the  old  world, 
while  the  wonders  of  taxidermy  in  the  Museum  of  Natural  History  invites 
the  curious  and  studious  to  spend  their  half-holiday  in  this  richly-stocked 
building.  Quite  as  important  to  this  big  city  as  Central  Park  are  the  other 
smaller  parks  which  have  been  created  here  the  past  few  years,  and 
of  which  the  city  now  lights 
69.25  acres.  Our  philanthropic 
and  wealthy  citizens  have  made 
the  Metropolitan  Museum  in 
the  Park,  a  possession  of  which 
New  York  may  well  be  proud, 
it  standing  now  one  of  the  good 
collections  of  the  world.  One 
of  the  great  factors  ni  the  suc- 
cess of  the  Metropolitan  Mu- 
seum has  been  Ilenrv  (i.  Mar- 
quand,  who  has  done  more  tor 
art  in  this  country  than  an\' 
other  man  and  has  b(!en  tlir 
pioneer  in  stimulating  the  pub- 
lic's taste  for  beautv.  In- 
deed so  liberal  has  he  been  in 
his  princely  gifts,  that  it  is  said 
he  has  given  nioie  to  the  mu- 
seum than  he  will  be  able  to 
leave  to  bis  childien.  in  costlv 
paintings,  bric-a-biac,  rugs, 
pottery,  etc.  The  late  Cath- 
erine Lorillard  Wollt  s  collec- 
tion, was  worthy  of  a  king  s 
gift,  while  the  collection  be- 
queathed to  the  museum  by 
the  late  Eilward  C.  Mdoic.  of 
the  firm  of  Tiftanv  &  Co..  cm- 
tains  priceless  works  ot  art  m

globe. 

Madison  and  Union  Squares  may  be  called  the  parks  of  the  people 
where  the  masses  throng  daily.  Many  other  parks  are  scattered  through 
the  city,  among  them  being  Bellevue,  Bryant,  City  Hall,  Elm,  East  River, 
Harlem  River,  Jones  Wood,  Lion  Park.  M(niiingside.  Mount  >[orris,  River-

and  which  some  call  "  Little  Berlin,"  The  new  East  River  Park  has  been 
recently  acquired,  as  has  also  Rutgers  Park  and  one  at  Leroy  Street  called 
Chelsea  Park.  In  the  annexed  district  is  St.  Mary's  Park;  while  old  Mul-

owned  by  :Mis.  Frederick  Stevens  and  now  belonging  to  the  Whitney  family, 
all  of  which  shows  how  "  the  course  of  empire  takes  its  way."  Considering 
that  each  foot  of  ground  is  worth  its  weight  in  good  gold  coin,  the  fad  of  our 


millionaires  for  city  gardens  is  a  costly  one.  But  as  nothing  is  impossible 
to  the  wealthy  we  have  some  few  instances  of  a  desire  for  breathing-places 
amid  modern  bricks,  stone  and  mortar,  that  in  their  way,  are  as  beautiful 
and  refreshing  to  the  eye  as  the  magnificent  Shalimar  of  the  Delhi  emperor, 
or  the  fabled  gardens  of  Iram,  which  were  made  in  imitation  of  Paradise 

by  the  impious 
Sliedad.  Among 
these  is  a  plot  on 
Fifth  Avenue  and

its  weight  in  solid

was  recently  pur-

weed-grown  thoroiiolifares  have  been  converted  into  a  region  of 
palaces  and  boulevards.  Fort  Washinj;tun  Park  Point,  jutting  out 
into  the  Hudson  at  178th  Street,  has  been  laid  out  as  a  site  for  a  grand 
Park,  and  there  is  no  vacant  spot  near  New  York  that  can  be  named  as  a 
rival  to  it,  being  romantically  and  picturesquely  wild  and  grand  with  a  mag- 
nificent view  of  the  Hudson,  and 

which  the  new  speedway  will  icn-  ...    -  ^s 

der  easy  of  access  for  a  fine  drive. 
The  massive  and  beautiful  struc- 
ture which  stands  as  a  monument 
to  William  H.  Webb's  philan- 
thropliy,  known  as  the  Academy 
and  Home  for  Shipbuilders,  is  also 
an  ornament  to  the  neighborhood, 
standing  on  a  bold  prominence  of 
Fordham  Heights. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  the 
choice  of  the  site  for  General 
Grant's  tomb  and  bis  interment  at 
where  the  intended  magnificent 
mausoleum  will  be — one  of  the 
finest  spots  on  Manhattan  Island — 
was  one  of  the  strongest  advocates 
to  the  building  up  of  that  section 
of  the  city,  bringing  its  beauties  to 
the  public  notice  in  making  River- 
side Drive  to  the  tomb  the  favor- 
ite and  fashionable  one,  which  it 
will  always  remain,  as  the  beauty 
and  extent  of  the  scenery  cannot 
be  surpassed.  When  this  tomb  is 
finislied  it  will  be  one  of  the  most 
magnificent  tributes  to  greatness 
extant.  This  memorial,  which  is 
now  on  its  way  to  completion,  will 
be  of  light  granite,  about  100  feet 
square  and  1.50  feet  in  heiglit.  It 
will  be  on  high  ground,  the  base 
being  about  1.50  feet  above  the 
level  of  the  sea,  which  will  place 
the  pinnacle  of  the  monument  300  feet  higher  than  the  Hudson .  It  will  be 
high  enough  and  large  enough  to  be  seen  from  the  Palisades,  the  towers 
of  the  Brooklyn  Bridge  and  all  high  grounds  within  ten  miles  of  the  park, 
and  every  vessel  that  sails  up  and  down  the  river.  Three  millions  of  dol. 
lars  liave  betn  spent  already  by  tlie  city  in  the  work  of  decorating-  this 


pleasure-ground.  Every  year  the  city's  population  increases  to  such  an 
extent  and  business  is  so  gradually  creeping  up  town,  that  the  tide  of  the 
residential  population  is  also  gradually  creeping  up,  and  the  den. and  for 
uptown  houses  and  apartments  between  59th  Street  and  Hailem  Is  con- 
stantly on  the  increase,  and  is  even  exceeding  the  supply,  although 
houses  are  springing  up  in  that 
■  S^-  quarter  almost  as  magically  as  the 

^-  palace  of  Aladdin. 

The  fast  traiiKs  run  by  the 
New  Haven  Railroad  to  Mount 
Vernon  and  by  the  Harlem  Rail 
road  f..ni  track  svstem  to  Wood- 
lawn  is  a  greai  ,n.-.'ntive  to  New 
Yorkers  to  settle  in  this  locaHty 
and  even  as  far  as  Dobbs  Ferry  is 
becoming  rapidly  built  up,  as  is 
also  Brooklyn,  .Jersey  City,  and 
every  place  that  is  accessiltle 
in  New  Jersey,  Long  Island, 
etc.  "  Ardsley  Park,"  which  was 
the  great  project  of  the  late 
ryrus  W.  Field,  is  a  favorite  spot 
with  iironiineiit  New  Yorkers  as  a 
lilace  of  residence.  Ardsley  Park 
is  a  most  beautiful  spot  on  the 
Hudson,  between  Irvington  and 
Dobbs  Ferry,  which  is  rich  in  rem- 
iniscences of  Washington  Irving. 
Benedict  Arnold,  the  shooting  of 
Major  Andre  and  many  other  early 
reminiscences,  was  chosen  by  the 
late  Cyrus  W.  Field  for  its  con- 
venience to  the  city  and  the  beau- 
ty and  variety  of  the  natural 
scenery  and  its  unequalled  river 
views,  and  was  improved  by  him 
at  a  cost  of  over  $2,000,000.  This 
magnificent  spot  is  now  the  resi- 
dence of  many  prominent  New 
Yorkers,  among  whom  are  "our 
ixurious  summer  dwelling,  "In- 
anda,"  is  a  veritable  "  bower  of  roses."  In  no  city  in  ihe  world  are  the 
suburbs  so  inviting  as  around  New  York,  and  some  of  the  palatial  resi- 
dences along  the  Hudson  are  fit  for  kings.

BANKS. 

NEW  YORK  is  called  the  banking  and  financial  centre  of  America 
and  the  chosen  throne  of  capital,  and  the  banking  facilities  are 
not  exceeded  by  those  of  any  city  in  the  United  States.  The 
linaneial  iiiipoitanee  of  XeW  York  has  kept  pace  from   year  to 
year  with  the  country's  growth.

More  money  or  the  representative  of  money  changes  hands  in  Wall 
Street  than  any  where  else  in  the  United  States.  The  street  is  jiractically 
the  clearing  house  for  the  country.  The  sub-treasury  in  Xew  York  does 
infinitely  more  business  than  the  mitioual  treasury  atWashington.  Ranks 
genei-ally  thioiighout  the  country  keeps  balances  in  the  banks  of  New 
York.  Those  in  and  near  Witli  Street  are  selected  by  country  banks  as 
their  New  York  correspondents  for  the  reason  that  the  bulk  of  the  bank- 
ing business  is  in  that  locality,  and  a  New  York  draft  is  available  in  every 
portion  of  the  United  States. 

The  proportionate  amount  of  capital  invested  in  banking  in  this  city  is 
unusually  large,  and  divided,  as  it  is,  among  a  large  number  of  subscribers, 
it  demonstrates  the  fact  that  this  is  essentially  a  financial  community.

CHURCHES. 

COXSIDERIXG  that  Rome,  the  "  Eternal  City,"  has  only  something 
like  churches  and  that  churches  are  the  predominating  feature 
of  what  was  once  the  "  Empress  of  the  World  "  we  may  consider 
that  New  York  is  well  provided  for  when  she  makes  a  showing  of 
206  churches  of  different  denominations.  Of  these  27  are  Baptist,  5  are 
Congregational,  14  Lutheran,  32  Methodist  Episcopal,  30  Presbyterian,  5 
Reformed  Presbyterian,  .5  United  Presbyterian,  43  are  Protestant  Episco- 
pal, 12  Reformed  Dutch,  21  Roman  Catholic,  4  Unitarian,  4  Universalist, 
3  synagogues,  2  Friends'  meeting-houses,  and  two  miscellaneous.  Of 
these  the  maginticent  St.  Patrick's  cathedral  on  Fifth  Avenue  is  the  finest 
piece  of  church  architecture  in  the  city  and  is  in  pure  Gothic  style.  Many 
others  are  also  architectually  beautiful.  Many  new  churches  have  been 
erected  in  tbe  past  few  years  in  the  upper  portions  of  the  city,  many  of 
them  being  triumphs  of  architecture, 


INCREASING  CHANGES  FROM  THE  OLD  TO  THE  NEW 
CITY. 

OLD  landmarks  are  gradually  disappearing  and  many  quaint  and 
shaky  buildings  are  so  overshadowed  by  palatial  structures  on 
cither  hand  that  they  often  escape  observation  only  by  the  old 
residenter,  who  loves  to  recall  memories  of  the  long  ago.  Many 
of  these  ancient  habitations  are  allowed  to  remain  because  their  owners  are 
waiting  for  a  rise  in  real  estate  values.  This  is  especially  noticeable  in  the 
"  Greenwich  Village"  section  of  the  city,  now  known  as  the  Ninth  ward, 
which  was  the  hot-bed  of  Know-Xothingism  in  the  "  American  party  "  days. 
There  are  localities,  too,  on  the  East  Sidi\  noticeable  reminders  of  when 
Henry  Street,  East  Broadway  and  .Mom umum  i y  Mrei't.  wcic  tlic  nabob 
quarters  in  the  early  forties.  New  Yorkers  iniaume  Hiat  c\ei  \-  \i  stii;eof

that  on  Chatham  Street,  wheiv  Hie  lirst  free  schoolbouse  was  built  in  Xcw

the  Dutch  church  was  tiiiislied  when  what  is  Kx.diange  Place  now  was 
Garden  Street.  The  .Macomli  mansion  on  lower  Broadway  was  at  one  time 
occupied  by  Washiimton.  .\iiother  interesting  old  spot  is  on  John 
Street,  between  William  tuid  Nassau  Streets,  where  the  first  M.  E.  church  in 
America  was  built  and  opened  124  years  ago,  and  to  which  some  of  the 
famous  old  Knickerbocker  families  were  contributors,  and  which  has  since 
been  twice  rebuilt.  Neglected  cemeteries  of  other  generations  are  still  ly

THE  OKOXITE  COMPAXY,  [Limited |,  Manufacturers  of  Insulated

byco]ipei,  iron,  brass  and  steel,  there  is  none  more  valuable  for 
general  commercial  requirements  than  that  of  ductility.  This  is 
an  important  quality  in  wire,  which  is  so  prominent  a  factor  in  this  age  of 
the  telephone  and  the  electric  light.  But  a  still  more  important  one  affect- 
ing its  application  to  practical  electrics  is  that  of  purity,  which  is  but  a 
synonym  for  low  electrical  resistance  or  high  conductivity,  which  is  always

THE  WM.  S.  ANDERSOX  COMPYXY,  Real  Estate  and  Insurance, 
No.  24  E.  42d  St.— An  important  adilition  to  the  facilities  ex- 
tended to  the  public  in  the  real  estate  market  of  Xew  York,  is 
The  Wm.  S.  Anderson  Comiiaiiy.  whose  princijial  oftice  is  at  Xo.  24 
East  42d  Street,  with  branches  located  re.spectively  at  No.  124s  Third  Ave.,

corner  of  Liberty  Street,  in  charge  of  competent  managers.  The  inception 
of  this  flourishing  business  dates  from  1880,  when  it  was  inaugurated  at 
185  E.  73rd  Street  near  Third  Avenue,  by  William  S.  Anders. .n.  On  January 
1,  1891,  Harold  D.  Keeleraiid  AVm,  S.  Anderson  formed  a^  partnership  under 
the  firm-name  of  Wm.  S.  Anderson  &  Company.  The  opeiatn.ns  ot  the 
house  became  so  extensive  that,  in  order  to  increase  the  fai  iliiies  t.>r  carry- 
ing them  on,  the  present  company  was  organized  and  in.  . u  p.. raied  under 
the  laws  of  New  Jersey,  on  Feliruary  25,  1895,  with  cajiital  st..ek  oi  si.' .■,.000. 
The  officers  are  Mr.  Harold  D.  Keeler,  president;  and  Mr.  Wm.  S.  And- 
erson, vice-president  and  treasurer.  Both  these  gentlemen  are  promi- 
nent and  influential  in  New  York  leading  real  estate  circles.  Mr.  Anderson 
is  a  large  owner  of  city  and  suburban  property,  and  is  a  member  of  the 
Real  Estate  Exchange  and  .Auction  Pooms.  Limited.  He  is  a  rei'ognized 
expert  authority  on  all  that  jiertains  to  his  line  of  business,  and  his  services

have  charge  of  many  large  properties,  they  undertake  the  care  and  manage-

effect  repairs  in  the  most  judicious  manner.  They  negotiate  loans  on

insurance  with  sound  and  reliable  companies.  Both  partners  are  natives 
of  this  city.

TOWXSEXD  &  MOXTAXT,  Auctioneers,  Etc.,  Xos.  87  and  89  Leon-

of  Townsend  &  Montaiit,  the  aiietioiRers  and  commission  mer- 
chants of  Xos.  87  and  89  Leonaril  .Street,  is  a  forcible  illusti'ation 
of  tlie  siu  cess  tliat  can  be  achieved  by  industry,  energy  and  ability,  when 
imiiliiued  with  strictly  honorable  and  upright  methods.  It  carries  us  back 
to  till'  days  when  the  trade  in  textile  fabrics  of  New  York  may  be  said  to 
have  still  heen  in  its  infancy,  and  when  the  imist  sanguine  observer  could 
not  even  have  dreamed  of  the  magnificent  ]iidiioi  tious  to  which  the  com- 
merce of  the  metropolis  was  to  attain.  It  is  an  honorable  and  enviable 
record,  such  an  oin'  as  any  house  might  well  lie  pmud  of.  Seventy  years

HOTEL  MARIE  AXTOIXETTE,  A.  Eugene  Kirby,  Proprietor, 
American  and  European  Plans,  Grand  Boulevanl  and  Sixty-Sixth 
Street.— It  was  in  the  early  autumn  of  1894,  that  the  neighborhood 
of  the  Graml  Foulevard  and  G6th  Street  were  treated  to  a  very 
remarkable  transftirmation  scene,  by  the  opening  of  the  Hotel  Marie 
Antoinette  on  the  corner  named.  Situated  at  a  strategic  point  and  filling 
the  eye  of  the  observer  from  every  point  of  the  compass,  it  occupies  a  site 
both  attractive,  central  and  convenient.  Ten  lines  of  street  cars  pass  its 
doors,  while  it  is  but  a  few  steps  from  Central  Park,  from  the  Opera  House, 
from  Carnegie  Music  Hall  and  from  all  the  theaties  and  leading  business 
centres,  and  its  corner  turns  the  tide  of  travel  and  traffic  from  the  busy 
marts  of  trade  to  spread  into  the  avenues  of  wealth  and  fashion  at  the  West 
End.  This  hotel  is  conducted  jointly  on  the  American  and  European  plans 
and  the  proprietoi-,  Mr.  A.  Eugene  Kirby,  is  no  novice  in  the  business.  He 
long  ago  laid  the  foundation  for  his  present  success,  and  is  in  every  way 
equipped  for  making  a  prestige  and  a  fame  for  this  new  and  magnificent 
hotel.  In  appointments,  decorations  and  modern  equipments,  the  Hotel 
Marie  Antoinette  is  now  recognized  as,  par  excellence,  one  of  the  leading 
hotels  of  the  metropolis.  The  seventy-five  suites  of  from  two  to  four 
rooms  each,  are  nooks  of  repose  and  are  perfectly  recherche.  The  ventila- 
tion of  the  entire  house  is  an  innovation  worthy  of  the  intelligent  manage- 
ment of  the  proprietor,  who  has  ever  made  it  a  rule  to  study  not  only  the 
comfort  but  the  health  of  lii^  '.quests.  It  is  as  often  as  difficult  to  describe 
the  particular  features  ol  alii  iciimi  in  a  hotel  as  it  is  in  a  person.  In  the 
ca.se  of  the  Hotel  Marie  Antoinette,  there  is  not  or.lr  a  palatial  exterior, 
but  also  an  atmosphere  of  home  comf..rt  and  lio>pitahle  treatr.ient  within, 
which  is  rarely  met  with  in  a  ]Mildic  house,  and  which  insensibly  draws 
one  there  as  often  as  one  needs  hotel  ac(  ,.iiiino(latioii>  in  Xew  York.  The 
latest  improvements  of  all  kinds,  such  as  passe'n,ger  elevators,  electricity 
and  uas.  aild  materially  to  convenience  and  comfort,  while  the  service  and 
atti  iition  is  iM  ifect.  The  dining-i-oom  is,  perhaps,  the  most  remarkable 
a]iartnient  in  this  hotel,  and  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  and  elegant  S])eci- 
mens  of  dei-oi  at  i.ni  in  this  country.  People  wdio  have  visited  the  finest  in 
Europeadmit  that  they  have  seen  none  to  excel  it.  This  is  by  no  means  faint 
praise,  but  none  the  less  worthy.  Then  there  is  the  "Oak  Room,"  where 
every  piece  is  an  heirloom  :  the  restaurant,  several  private  dining-rooms  and 
c,,sy  readinu-i  ooms.  all  of  which  are  so  handsomely  fitted  up  as  to  baffle 
,lescri].tion.  They  must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated.  There  are  few  restau- 
rants in  New  Vork  that  equal  this  as  regards  the  cuisine.  The  quality  is 
invariably  CO,, d.  and  its  ad  i]ilatioii  to  the  .Vmeriean  palate  is  a  peculiar 
feature  that  evei\-  uiic-t  laiiMy.  and  appieciates.  This  magnificent  hotel 
was  built  by  Mr.  Wni.  F.  Flanauan,  who  snecessf ully  carried  out  a  consist- 
ent theory  of  art  and  utility  in  hotel  construction.  His  success  in  build- 
ing has  been  equaled  by  Mr.  Kirby  in  conducting  the  house,  and  a  brilliant 
future  can  be  predicted  for  the  enterprise.

HOTEL  EMPIRE,  Grand  Boulevard  and  C3rd  Street,  West,  was 
thrown  open  to  the  public  on  the  2.'itli  uf  September,  1894,  under 
the  auspices  of  Mr.  William  Noble,  the  owner,  and  Mr.  W.  John- 
son Quinn,  as  manager,  both  of  whom  were  well-known  hotel  men.  The 
house  was  at  once  placed  upon  a  solid  and  popular  basis,  and  its  patron- 
age has  rapidly  increased.  The  hotel  is  seven  stories  high,  surmounted 
by  a  massive  tower  of  two  stories  additional,  with  two  smaller  towers  on 
either  corner.  It  is  constructed  of  buff  brick,  Indiana  stone  and  terra 
cotta,  making  it  thoroughly  fireproof.  It  has  a  frontage  of  128  feet  on  03d 
Street,  and  75  feet  on  Columbus  Avenue,  and  contains  114  suites,  con- 
sisting of  parlor,  bedroom  and  bathroom,  and  twcnty-eiuht  suites  of  parlor, 
two  bedrooms  and  bathroom.  These  suites  all  oiu-n  into  one  another,  so 
that  eucsts  can  have  any  number  of  rooms  desired.  There  are  also  forty 
sinuh-  rooms,  w  ith  liatlis  01,  ,.a.  li  lloor.  I'lie  location  is  in  the  heart  of  the 
best  lesidciicc  district,  w  ithin  three  blocks  of  the  Sixth  and  Ninth  Avenue 
elc\ated  stations,  while  the  Broadway  cable  cars  and  other  street  car  lines 
pass  its  doors.  It  is  twenty  miHutes  ride  from  Wall  Street,  one  block  from 
Central  Park,  anil  convenient  alike  to  the  fastidious  tourist,  the  banker, 
the  merchant  and  the  transient  guest.  The  interior  decorations  are  elabor- 
ate and  very  beautiful.  The  suites  are  furnished  in  cherry,  oak  and  maple; 
the  ground  tloor  is  furnished  with  Mexican  onyx  and  Italian  and  Nubian 
maibles.  The  building  has  been  carefully  constructed  under  the  personal 
sujiervision  of  the  owner,  and  all  its  machinery,  plumbing  appliances  and 
modern  conveniences  are  of  the  most  aiijuoved  character.  The  house  is 
provided  with  its  own  electric  and  hetitinu  jilaiits.  and  every  room  has  an 
electric  return  call  bell.  Two  ]iasscneei  elevators  and  a  I'nited  States  mail 
chute  extending  through  the  building  are  among  the  special  conveniences 
]iiovided  for  the  use  of  guests.  The  main  dining-room  is  a  noble  apart^ 
ment.  ion  \-  en  feet,  and  easily  seats  4">0  guests.  The  ladies'  lestaurant 
seats  2:;.').  and  the  eeiifs  caft''  ll»()  guests:  there  are  luxuriously  furnished 
]iarlois.  cosy  reailiiig  and  wiitiiie  rooms,  and  a  billiard  tind  pool  room. 
The  culiiiaiy  ib'partmeiit  is  unexcelled,  and  everythiiiij:  of  the  best  is  to  be 
found  in  the  menu.  Conducted  jointly  on  the  American  and  European 
jilaiis,  the  Hotel  Empire  meets  every  want  of  the  public,  and  at  rates 
which  are  extremely  moderate  for  such  splendid  accommodations.  The 
manager,  Mr.  Quinn,  was  for  three  years  manager  of  the  Hotel  Vendome, 
two  years  manager  of  the  Arverne,  at  Arverne-by-the-Sea,  and  understands 
how  to  meet  the  wants  of  the  most  critical  and  exacting,  and  is  making  the 
Empire  the    Mecca  "  for  those  who  appreciate  good  living.

SCIIEXK  &  SCHLICHTE.  Manufacturers  of  Paper  Boxes,  Nos.  93 
and  'X)  Sixth  Avenue. — There  are  perhaps  none  among  the  paper 
box  manufacturers  of  this  city  who  are  more  widely  known  than 
Sehenk  &  Schlichte.  They  turn  out  very  fine  work,  and  their  pi  o- 
ductions  are  noted  for  beauty  and  variety  of  design  and  elegance  of  finish. 
They  manufac  ture  paper  boxes  of  every  description,  plain  and  fancy,  and 
s( ml  uo(,(ls  to  all  i)arts  of  the  country.  Perfumei-y,  silverware,  notion  and 
toili  t  lioM  s  are  a  specialty,  and  make  and  materials  are  warranted. 
.Messrs.  Si  hcidc  cV:  Schlichte  would  call  the  attention  of  the  tr.ade  to  their 
lately  )iatented  Boss  Straw  Board  Linin-  Machine,  which  is  particularly 
adai>teil  to  hand  jiower,  and  is  the  nmst  ju  actical  labor  saving  machine  of  its 
kind.  D  is  unicjue  in  design,  simple  in  coirstruction  and  superior  to  any 
other  made.  It  occupies  less  space  than  a  Clark's  Scoring  machine.  The 
lining  is  better  and  more  uniform  than  hand  lining.  It  requires  consid- 
erable less  paste  and  therefore  less  time  to  dry  the  boards.  Its  cutting  mech- 
ainsm  is  so  arrairu'ed  that  no  change  whatsoever  is  necessary  to  line  vary- 
in-  len-tbs  of  boards.  The  capacity  of  the  macliin.'  is  |0(M)  slieets  per  hour, 
ami  riM|uiies  only  the  scrvici'  ot  a  man  and  boy.  The  above  can  be  seen  in 
operati.in  at  theii'  factory,  and  they  respectfully  invite  paper  box  manufac- 
tuicrs  to  ,  all  and  c.iuviuce  themselves  of  its  merits.  Messrs.  George  Sehenk 
and  A.  \V.  Schli,  lite,  the  members  of  the  firm,  are  natives  of  Germany  and 
have  been  in  this  ccuintry  since  boyhood,  and  have  been  established  in  busi- 
ness about  eighteen  years.  They  occupy  four  .50  x  100  foot  floors  here,  and 
their  factory  is  perfectly  equipped.  All  the  latest  improved  machinery  and 
tools  pertaining  to  the  industry  are  provided,  and  forty  to  fifty  hands  are

house  of  H.  C.  F.  Koch  &  Co.,  125th  Street,  as  an  exponent  of 
what  the  dry  goods  trade  has  come  toin  this  country.  This  firm  established 
business  originally  thirty  years  ago,  at  Bleecker  and  Carmine  Streets,  from

and  16  feet  high;  the  vestibule  is  20  x  11  feet,  and  all  are  handsomely

of  marble  and  iron,  with  bronze  and  cherry  trimmings  ;  while  there  are 
four  passenger  elevators,  and  one  for  freight.  The  building  is  thoroughly 
fire-proof,  all  pillars  are  of  iron,  girders  and  beams  are  of  steel,  ceilings  of 
corrugated  iron  filled  in  with  cement,  counters  of  hard  woods,  and  glass 
mirrors  and  brass  fittings  are  shown  upon  an  elaborate  scale.  The  rooms 
are  lighted  by  1200  electric  lamps,  from  the  firm's  own  dynamo  and  from 
700  to  800  hands  are  constantly  employed  in  the  business.  There  are  forty- 
six  departments,  all  complete  in  the  various  lines  of  dress  goods,  millinery,

fine  or  fashionable  for  this  firm  to  buy,  and  they  show  the  latest  novelties 
in  silks,  satins,  velvets,  black  dress  goods,  cloaks  and  suits,  gloves  and 
hosiery,  laces  and  embroideries,  ginghams  and  prints.  They  have  cut 
prices  down  to  a  figure  which  only  their  enormous  trade  can  warrant,  as, 
by  selling  vast  quantities,  they  arc  able  to  work  on  the  smallest  possible 
margin,  and  their  customers  rcaj)  the  benefit.  They  do  a  large  catalogue 
trade,  issuing  fiO,000  copies  every  six  months,  and  ship  immense  quantities 
of  goods  to  the  South  and  Southwest.  Taking  the  totals  of  business  done 
by  this  firm  and  it  will  be  found  that  they  are  crowding  closely  for  suprem- 
acy in  the  dry  goods  trade  of  the  metropolis.  The  co-partners.  Messrs.  H. 
C.  F.  Koch  and  A.  Riesenberg,  are  both  natives  of  Germany,  and  experi- 
enced and  practical  merchants,  while  Mr.  Koch  is  a  director  of  the  Twelfth 
Ward  Savings  Bank,  declining  to  serve  as  director  in  other  banking  institu- 
tions in  which  he  has  an  interest,  and  is  a  member  of  the  Harlem  Club  and 
the  German  Leiderkranz.  The  firm  have  the  largest  stock  and  conduct  the 
most  extensive  business  in  H.arlem,  while  their  trade  is  bounded  by  no 
local  lines,  and  their  prospects  were  never  brighter.

GUSTAV  SCHMIDT,  Sculptor  and  Manufacturer  of  Fine  Wax 
Figures,  No.  391  Canal  Street. — Sculpture  is  the  art  of  expressing 
ideas  or  images  in  solid  materials,  and  includes  the  moulding  of 
soft  materials  as  well.  It  is  one  of  the  most  ancient  of  the  arts, 
and  one  of  the  highest.  A  skilled  exponent  of  this  profession  in  New 
York  is  Mr.  Gustav  Schmidt.  This  gentleman,  who  has  resided  in  New 
York  ten  years,  was  born  in  Germany,  and  graduated  from  the  Academy 
of  Fine  Arts  at  Berlin.  In  1887  he  established  business  in  this  city,  and  has 
encountered  the  most  flattering  success,  his  productions  now  being  in 
demand  in  all  parts  of  the  United  States.  He  makes  busts  or  figures  both 
from  photographs  or  from  life,  and  has  before  him  an  average  of  200  models 
per  year.  One  of  the  specialties  is  the  making  of  fine  wax  figures  for  dry 
goods,  milliners,  clothiers,  and  all  other  branches  of  business  where  they  may 
lie  used  for  display  purposes.  The  business  premises  comprise  two  floors, 
25  x  70  feet  in  dimensions,  and  ten  skilled  assistants  are  employed  here. 
All  of  Mr.  Schmidt's  products  bear  the  stamp  of  artistic  excellence,  and 
the  imprint  of  the  master's  hand,  and  the  city  is  to  be  congratulated  upon 
this  accession  to  her  industries.
